    Yup, its a perfect Audi S3 Quattro except for it's RAT look. I have to say, much to my surprise, I'm a big fan of the look and I actually think this looks rather cool. I just cant see myself doing this to my own car. Maybe with a weapon but a lovely S3. All part of the fun I suppose. There's more on the main website.

    Good point. I'd probably stick a TDi or 1.6 on the back. Better still, one of those motor factor turbo badges :D

    Just wrong IMO, its neither rat nor anything else. A good car ruined.

    I think that this is the night we'll remember as the night Saab Ed was banned for madness :)

    I think that car has been ruined.

    Looks like some lad tried to do some wide arch thing and made a meal of it, so he just goes "eh, yeah it's rat" :rolleyes:

    The wheel arches are held on with electrical tape and nails by the look of it. It was quite a nice car beforehand though!

    I really do like it. I think its what it represents rather than the look that I actually enjoy more. How many smiles would dissapear after you took off in this shed.

    I thought rat look was more rusty older car, like mk1 golf or jetta.

    I don't think making a nice car look like a sh1tbox on purpose is cool. Quite the opposite actually. There's some fairly convoluted thinking going on here.

    Yup.

    I blame the recession.

    Hardly blame. There's no doubt that this style is a consequence of the recession but not to the detriment I think, rather the opposite. I think hard times makes for far more creativity, thats what we have going on here. Cheap form of current style. I like it.

    Just looks like they primed a few panels then went "meh" and didn't bother finishing it.

    EDIT, Ah. that's what they did do. :)

    I was right, a good car ruined.

    at least it was somewhat reversible in the first picture.

    will people ever learn with the whole flushing out of bumpers into wings that in the end it always cracks.
